The Memorial from the National Assembly asking for the early summoning of a Parliament has not been presented. The Assembly discusses the matter to-morrow. The majority of the members is in favour of the immediate opening ofa Parliament, but Palace conferences lead to the belief that undue haste would arouse Manchu opposition, which hitherto has been practically absent. The Press points out that, without constitute ing a menace to the Throne, the Parliament would relieve the Regent of excessive responsibilities and labour and would carry out domestic and foreign affairs to the general satisfaction.
Telegrams have been received from all the Provinces congratulating the Assembly on its action in this matter.—Qu Correspondent.
